You’re rationale is based on the MVPs. Nothing else.
I’ve discussed those MVPs way too much, it’s sufficient to say that his stats in both years are not comparable to the MVP stats of any other player,and his team success make up for his lackluster numbers considering neither team made the Finals, or really gave a great showing in the WCF.
Secondly, Gary Payton was Nash’s superior as a SCORER, not shooter. Since you don’t get more points for just “shooting” and since the chasm between Nash and Payton on defense was as large as a canyon, Payton was the better player. Plus, Payton had more team success with less talent or similar talent. Period.
Isiah Thomas was better than Stockton. Anybody who thinks differently didn’t really pay attention to the League, or what Thomas did to Stockton.
Look at K.J.’s numbers, and his team success. Without the injuries, he was clearly Nash’s superior.
The MVPs, which are based on arbitrary guidelines established by a biased media, greatly skew people’s perceptions of Nash. Strip away those awards, and just consider his team success and statistics, and things are a lot easier.

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 07:46:40 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=120959#comment-1525179Jukai’s list is OK but his reasoning behind some of his selections are flawed. Oscar may have played point for awhile but he is generally considered a forward. Isiah beat those three yes, but that doesn’t make him the better player. By that rationale, Bill Laimbeer is one of the great centers of all time because he beat Parrish and Kareem. Stockton down a spot because he didn’t win a title? Title numbers is a vastly overrated way of looking at how good an individual player is. I guess Karl Malone isn’t the top 2 power forwards of all time then either? They played against Jordan. Enough said there. Gary Payton? Really? He’s not a better point guard than Nash. Defensively, sure. Shooter, passer…not even close. Kemp gets an extra 6 points a game with Nash giving him the ball. @AllenP, you have to put age in the consideration. Nash has had plenty of injuries himself but he plays through them cuz he’s one tough SOB. And while I’m not doctor, I’m pretty sure there’s nothing the doctors can do any differently today for things like a ruptured Achilles tendon. It’s actually pretty disgusting that a two time MVP (and deservedly so, should have won a third straight too) is actually so UNDERrated. I mean…just above KJ? Terrible

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 03:45:17 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=120959#comment-1525055@ everyone dissing on The Big O. O was the best player to ever play the game of basketball with the exception of Bill Russell who was the best player-coach ever and has 11 rings. Nothing else needs to be said about Bill. O was the only player ever to average a triple-double in a season which he did for five straight seasons, and whoever doesn’t know, LBJ reached 15,000 points three years later than The Big O did–LBJ having a three pointer to work with. Point is that O and Bill should be tied for first–Jordan is third or fourth.

Mon, 28 Mar 2011 22:08:14 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=120959#comment-1524840Nash has been overrated in the past. And stop people should stop throwing out stats and age like that’s a huge difference. He’s playing in a different time with different things at his disposal. Isiah, Tiny and KJ all had their careers cut short by injuries that would have been handled much better given today’s medicine, and their careers could have been even more spectacular.
Nash is top 10 all-time. That’s enough. He still didn’t deserve both of those MVPs. Lol.

Nash should be one spot ahead of K.J. to show exactly how close those two are, but given Nash’s longevity, I have to give it to him now.

He was the second best player on his 1 championship team. Spent the rest of his career just getting stats. All I ever hear about him is “triple-double.” That’s it. Is there anything else about him?

Sun, 27 Mar 2011 16:37:09 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=120959#comment-1523432If you want my opinion, I’ll go to 20.
1. Magic (no contest)
2. Oscar (yeah he played point forward for most of his career but he was a legit point in the Bucks championship, don’t hate)
3. Thomas (who else beat Jordan, Bird and Magic?)
4. Stockton (woulda been higher than Thomas if he could just win one chip)
5. Kidd (No one has ever effectively switched up his game as he’s aged to still be effective. Put himself ahead of Frazier in my book)
6. Frazier (Two championships plus a perfect nitch in the 70s, one of the best all-around guards)
7. Gary Payton (new generation Frazier. Frazier is only ahead because of the extra championship)
8. Bob Cousy (A bit overrated, no jump shot plus he retired and the Celts still won five more championships. But still a great).
9. Steve Nash (F YOU HATERS! No point at 37 has EVER put up the numbers Nash is putting up)
10. Archibald (if he wasn’t injured, who knows how far this dude would go. He put up statistics no one has come close to doing).
11. Kevin Johnson (Once again, new age Archibald. Archibald’s championship, plus KJ’s historic collapse in the Finals puts him one step behind).
12. Mo Cheeks (is there a more underrated point? Super defensive point who put up 9 assists a game at one point, won a championship, lasted for a super long time… C’mon!)
13. Dennis Johnson (If it wasn’t for his massive attitude problems, I’d make him top-10. Changed up his game to conform his team, won multiple championships, was a Finals MVP, even if he may not have deserved it… He’s really good).
14. Chauncy Billups (I get crap for putting up Billups this high, but he was a Finals MVP, almost two times in a row!)
15. Tim Hardaway (That crossover… is so damn good.. Lots of injuries and a lack of playoff success hurts him, but his game was really so complete and he had the flashy to boot).
16. Gail Goodrich (remember when SLAM forgot to put in the person who won a championship with the Lakers, put up nearly 30 points a game, and woulda rocked the league for a helluva lot longer had he not blown out his knees? I remember that).
17. Mark Price (we’re getting into more gray categories here, pretty interchangable… but Mark Price was a knock dead shooter and great passer who woulda dominated in today’s no-handcheck age).
18. Mark Jackson (Longevity brought him here, along with relative playoff success)
19. Lenny Wilkens (I heard he was pretty good. I guess.)
20. Alvin Robertson/Fat Lever (Pick your placeholder. A defensive stopper or triple double threat who never really did anything else).
I can’t wait for Paul/Williams/Rose to age so that it’s easier to make this list.

Like someone else said, you lose any credibility (not that you had any to begin with) as soon as you put Isiah over Magic. I like having Nash at number 6 on that list, although if you’re talking pure point guard I’d take Nash over Thomas in a heartbeat. But to put Gary Payton, Tim Hardaway, MARK JACKSON…actually anyone from number 7 on down…is completely ridiculous. Nice work putting Oscar on this list of point guards when he’s a small forward. Why isn’t Larry Bird or Scottie Pippen on this list then? LOL!

Quinten Richardson had his best year in PHX, Boris Diaw was a borderline All-star the year he started for them, even now with Gortat, hes averaging like 17 and 10. Thats just to name a few players. Yes there are more accomplished and better pgs, but on the list you have, Id put him in between, Kidd and Tiny. Also a little off topic, but Im not old enough to know this, but wasnt Walt a SG?

NASH is not better than these points, how is he 50. Come on Slam!!!
1. Isiah Thomas
2. Earvin “Magic” Johnson
3. Oscar Robinson
4. John Stockton
5. Jason Kidd
6. Nate Archibald
7. Gary Payton
8. Walt Frazier
9. Bob Cousy

And Maybe Nash gets 15, but Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook will probably past him.

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:27:11 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=120959#comment-1519833As Lang said a few weeks back: “We acknowledge that there are going to be errors in this issue. Hey, even as perfect as we are, we make mistakes sometimes, and sorting an avalanche of information, like we had to do in the making of this issue, means that somehow, someway, things can get screwed up.

• Leading off, it was brought to our attention that we inexplicably left former Lakers (and Suns and Jazz) guard Gail Goodrich off the list. Goodrich, a two-time All-American and one of the greatest players in UCLA history, was a five-time NBA All-Star and scored over 19,000 points. His number, 25, was eventually retired by the Lakers. Goodrich deserves to not only be on our list, but to be way up high on the list. And he will be, either when we post the full list online, or in the next printing or any reissue we do of this magazine. But for now, there’s nothing we can say except Goodrich somehow slipped through. We screwed up. We apologize for the error.”
